Dental calcium: Once the teeth have formed they are not affected by osteoporosis. It is also an old wives tale that a developing baby takes calcium out of the mother's teeth.

No: Not the way enamel works. The dental effects of osteoporosis are related to bone density and bone loss around your teeth.
